Burgess Cellars
Estate Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
This wine needs to breathe for 45 mins or more. It's dry and tastes like the alcohol content is high, but we liked this wine with a hearty ribeye. It's not a last bottle of the evening, but not a bad pick by Charlie. Our first attempt was after a meal and it was just too much alcohol.

Dark red fruited nose w/ a hint of plum. Big fruit on the palate intermingled with generous oak notes and graphite.

Aging wonderfully at 12 years of age. Soft, integrated tannins with refreshing acidity. Fresh strawberry, plum, and currants compliment developing earth tones. Lovely.

Solid but not too heavy, cherry-alive, with Mary Beth and grass fed filet mignon from Hardwicke Farms, delightful grilled with green beens and portabellas sautéed with sweet onions...

Decent medium bodied Cab but lacks length on finish. Good sipping wine without food
